Ok! Let me see if I got this straigth.
SPNG showed the "Contact has oppenned the convesation window" when it tried to retrieve the DP. Typically (in 6.2) it only happened when the contact actually opened the window, so the information could be considered as reliable.
With MSN7, the program needs the DP for display at contact list (haven't downloaded it yet..) so it requests the DP even if the windows it not open! (as you say.. it can ask for DP at random times) and so the information could be wrong! (It may or may have not started a conversation).
Did I get this correct?
Well.. As msn7 is still beta and from my 80 contacts only 5 ou 6 use msn7, I cant still believe that when I see the pop-up most of times it reflects that a conversation was started.
Maybe when 7 goes public (late april I guess) the feature should desapear.. but for now.. it is still useful!
